Menu Planning for the week of 9/27/09

Well part of this week will be more proteins from the freezer and grains from the pantry.   This  week is also H’s birthday (on Friday) and we are having family over for dinner on Thurs….we will be celebrating H’s birthday as well as Auntie P’s birthday (her birthday is on Tues).   The weather is supposed to cool off this week too, so I’m looking forward to doing some baking.   I have several friends that I really want to bless with some homemade yumminess this week 🙂   Plus I REALLY want to get in the habit of baking again.   My family deserves it! 🙂
